About o'clock Yesterday morning at the
residence of Stephen Lancaster, Esq. on
Chestnut street, Mrs. Lancaster was aroused
by a roaring sound like that of are. On
investigation it was found that the SCOT in the
main chimney, very large structure, was
red hot and burning iercely. Pieces of the
blazing accumulation had dropped through
the fireplace in one room and rolled out onto
tn floor, and had it not been discovered, the
h use would have ignited. Every attempt
was made to subdue the burning mass of SCOT
box of salt was emptied upon it and
quantity of water. But all to no purpose.
The red hot fragments continued to drop
down the ireplaces and the services of one
man were required to take care of them.
Several Of the neighbors were called in and
at o'clock the Chief of the Fire Depart
ment was summoned. More salt was smptied
upon the blaze and by renewed efforts the
fire WAS sub1ued 1t was necessary to tear
of the woodwork about the chimney to pre-.
vent its ignition. The cellar and rooms
were completely scented BY the smoke of the
burning SCOT.
